Originally setup in 1978 Oakridge has gone through a number of owners and iterations whilst growing and developing over the years to what we see today. Alot of that has come down the vision and drive of chief winemaker David Bicknell who has lead the wine making teams since 2002...an eternity in the industry where wine makers normally last a few years. I had the opportunity to spend some time with David at a wine judging course a few years ago and whilst being quirky, some would say eccentric, his wine knowledge and precision were exceptional. My impression was that he was all about the purity of the wine and the ability to express where it came from often called Terroir.
